ONE Championship featherweight champion Narantungalag Jadambaa will make his first title defense next month at ONE Championship 31: Odyssey of Champions in Jakarta, Indonesia against Marat Gafurov.
The fight booking was announced by ONE Championship officials today in a press release, along with eight other fights including a featherweight bout between Herbert Burns and Timofey Nastyukhin.
ONE Championship 31: Odyssey of Champions will come from the Istora Senayan Indoor Arena on September 27 and tickets are currently on sale.
Jadambaa (10-3) defeated Koji Oishi by unanimous decision at ONE Championship 19 last year to capture the 145 pound title and both of his wins in the promotion have come by decision. Gafurov (11-0) won his ONE Championship debut earlier this year by submission and seven of his eleven wins have come by submission.
“ODYSSEY OF CHAMPIONS already has the makings of yet another phenomenal night of world class mixed martial arts action,” ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui said. “We have some amazing partners here in Jakarta such as MNC, Haier and Kawasaki and together we will bring to local MMA fans one of the strongest cards of the year, featuring some of the most compelling matchups we’ve had thus far.”
“With everything from a world championship title fight to fast and furious flyweight competition and powerful light heavyweight contenders facing off, ONE: ODYSSEY OF CHAMPIONS is shaping up to be an absolute spectacle. Fans of mixed martial arts would not want to miss what goes down in Jakarta on 27 September!”
